"Your heart can be empty because you can't see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
